"A little ripple of excitement occurred
IN Marietta Tuesday afternoon Mr. w. T.
Sears, clerk for John Kelley, and Miss
Dora Barwald, eloped from Atlanta and
came TO Marietta and were married at the
hennesaw House by Rev. v f. Manget.
just as the ceremony was completed Mar
shat Banks appeared with telegram from
Chief Connolly asking the arrest OF the
newly married couple. The Marshal de-
tanned them at the Kennesaw House until
the arrival Of the parents The meeting
scene was quite pathetic, and Mr. Barwald
was little stubborn in recognizing his new
| son-in-law. The parents stopped at the
Whitlock House and the happy couple at
the Kenhesaw, but all left together
for Atlanta Wednesday morning. The
bride is beautiful young Jewess and Mr..
Sears is a Gentle, which is the chief cause
OF objection to the marriage by the parents.

to witness the performance Driven from

well rendered, and the roaring Farce, which
followed, created great deal of merriment.
The ringing of the bells was particularly APP
preciated. Last night the thrilling Drama,
'Fogg Ferry, was rendered and drew a
good audience, notwithstanding the exceed
ingy nclement weather. Lost in Lon
don, which is the best of the series of plays
will be rendered tonight, and we hope will
crowd the house. - Tuscaloosa Ala Times,
